Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using the oil from the canned tuna adds rich flavor to the stew, so do not drain it.
The apple in the ssamjang provides a natural sweetness and crunchy texture, eliminating the need for added sugar.
Adjust the amount of hot green peppers and red pepper flakes (gochugaru) depending on your spice tolerance.
